Clock Bullshit

Well I hope everyone remembered to fall back one hour last night. That is if you live in some stone age place that still does this crap.

What exactly is the point? I can not figure it out. Supposedly, it "saves energy". OK then. Explain how. Quick! How does it save energy? I know! According to the clocks, the sun stays up longer. OK fair enough. So why don't we just keep the clocks set one hour ahead of where they are set now? Somehow it saves energy in the summer but not in the winter?

I do not get it. But whatever. It is not my idea to screw with the clocks. Maybe it does save energy. Who knows. They say it does, so it must. Right?

However, I kind of like the fall back thing. It gets later faster. This is good if you are a night kind of person.

Another strange thing happened Sunday. It was actually a nice day! The air was nice and crisp and cool. And the skies were clear. It was ALMOST like the world was air conditioned today. Almost. When the sun went down it was awesome. It got cooler, and the skies remained clear. Really nice. It is barely November and already this is happening. I am holding out hope for a really nice winter season. If the cool dry air keeps up, then it will be Everglades season sooner rather than later. Awesome.

Dusty - AZ is nice. I was there once. There are clocks at the Hoover Dam that show AZ time and Nevada time. Nevada uses Pacific Time. Anyway both clocks were the same. I asked if one clock was broken. NO! They were both correct. AZ (the non-Navajo parts) do not do the change the clock shit. I wept for I knew I had left AZ and was not to return.

Not-So-Lazy,Lake Powell is a great place to go boating. It's touted as the largest man made lake. I don't think they take into account man-induced global warming. In that case, I think there are larger ones.
